I can’t explain this, ‘cept to say, it’s inspired by our connection with nature and the fragility of life itself sometimes, the message coming through is to nurture life by way of fostering goodwill toward one another and accepting we have a duty of care to our natural world also. Because Easter is approaching I thought it appropriate :) The child’s sustenance, or umbilical cord if you like is coming from a tree, symbolic of the healing that nature can bring….the new life and growth that comes with nurture both of spirit and of nature. Humility is understanding our rightful place in the scheme of all things, including nature, family structure and the wider community…... a world where there is tolerance for all, is the one i pray for
nurture belongs to the following groups:

Courage, pluck, grit, are the words that came to mind on first view…I think it’s because of her stance…on second view I see a piece of Art Nouveau jewellery…reading your explanation, made me look again and what I saw was a brilliant piece of work…
